Context
We have seen cases where the customer wants to create stacked pallets using the palletizer.
The sequence could go as follows :
- An empty pallet is placed on either side of the palletizer.
- 3 or 4 layers of boxes are stacked.
- The program pauses.
- The operator places an empty pallet on top of the stack.
- The operator validates the task is done by pressing a button, outside of the work zone.
- Palletizing restarts. The palletizer offsets the release height to compensate for the pallet presence.
Knowledge

Line 20 : Program waits for the operator to press the confirmation button to proceed.
